We've opened up 1,150 additional spots in our free, instructor-led, virtual classroom courses.
OTTAWA (June 4, 2020) – Give your fingers a workout, top up your coffee and get your mind ready to learn again. Algonquin College Corporate Training (ACCT) has opened 1,150 additional spots for its free, instructor-led, virtual classroom courses to help give back to the community during COVID-19.
In addition, the ACCT team has added several new short courses and is offering a 25 per cent discount on its paid courses, which will also be delivered virtually.
“As a part of Ontario’s community college system, we are dedicated to helping our communities survive and thrive in both good times and in difficult moments such as these,” said Doug Wotherspoon, Executive Director of Business Development at Algonquin College. “We are proud to be able to expand our offerings in support of the businesses and people of Ontario who are looking to sharpen their skills at work or strengthen their resume for their next opportunity.”
On March 26, in response to COVID-19, ACCT announced several of its newly developed two, three, and four-day courses would be offered for free (fees for select books and exams still applied), so it could continue to help improve and develop the local workforce during an unprecedented time. Since then, 1,500 individuals have completed a free course.
As one student recently said of her project management learning, “Silas is an engaging and outstanding instructor, the material was very relevant and I felt that the course was of the highest calibre.” Another called her course “engaging and encouraging” and appreciated the active participation that is central to ACCT’s online learning approach.
This second round of courses includes 23 options and covers diverse topics such as business analysis, customer service, leadership, writing and communication, negotiation and specific software such as Microsoft Teams. Registration is limited to one course per individual, and the 1,150 spaces are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
